INCI Name: Guar - Hydroxypropyl Trimethyl
Ammonium Chloride Derivative
Charge: Cationic
Main Purpose : Natural Conditioner and Thickener
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
BluCat (Cationic Guar Gum) is a naturally derived, water-soluble, cationic polymer sourced from guar gum. With a high charge density and high molecular weight, this quaternary polymer offers dual benefits of conditioning and thickening. It adheres effectively to anionic surfaces like hair and skin, making it compatible with most anionic surfactants. BluCat cationic guar imparts a soft, luxurious after-feel to the skin while enhancing foam stability, lather quality, and skin lubrication properties.
Applications
BluCat is widely used in hair and skin care formulations to deliver exceptional conditioning and viscosity-building performance. Ideal applications include:
- Deep conditioning treatments.
- Ethnic hair care products.
- Repair for highly damaged, bleached, or chemically treated hair.
- Anti-dandruff shampoos.
- Active ingredient and silicone deposition systems.
- Soaps and shaving products.
